Do Not Recommend
I retained an attorney for post divorce decree modifications, assuming the same attorney that represented me previously would provide the same service and results. While things went well initially, the court appearance did not end in our favor. After that, I received no communication until I followed...

More than I could have ever asked for.
Annette and her team were very cooperative, driven with my goals in mind, extremely knowledgeable, always kept me in the loop and we're always forward and honest. They gave me guidance to follow, do's, don'ts and we're available anytime that I needed them. I cannot thank them enough for the time an...

Poor experience
I unfortunately had a very bad experience with Annette M. Cox as my attorney. She takes days, sometimes almost a week, to respond to calls or emails and that is not an isolated incident over a mundane issue. The delayed responses dealt with sensitive issues about my divorce and child custody case ...
I am pleased you found alternate representation with whom you are satisfied. I hope you take his or her advice, as you certainly did not want to take mine; There was no sense in continuing representation as a result, and no matter the outcome I achieved you would have been dissatisfied. The Firm had much success on your matter. We prevailed on a motion which resolved a large part of this case. You agreed to certain strategies and then reneged, without consulting counsel. Because we had differing viewpoints about how to proceed with the litigation, I believed withdrawal was appropriate. Your matter was set back by your own actions not by the Firm's. While you are right that it took me several days (approximately five business days) to respond to one of your emails, it was due to the fact the Firm was handling an emergency. It was also due to the fact that you demanded that I NOT respond to email(s) on the weekend because you did not want increased charges. With regards to the billing comments, you received numerous discounts and credits as well. I wish you and your family the best in spite of this very clear breakdown in communication.

Bad experience
Based on reviews on this site, we contacted this office. We used the intake form provided to us by her paralegal. We e-mailed the form to the address on the form. We called at our appointment time and were told they hadn't received the e-mail, which they had they just had not opened it. They said we ...
This type of response is a surprise and is not typical for any of my clients. Both my staff and I work diligently to provide compassionate yet aggressive services to clients going through Divorce. We also take these kinds of accusations seriously and are always open to feedback on how we can improve our services. From your comments, it sounds like you never retained our services, much less had a consultation. I am confident that you would have had a clearer picture of our dedication and professionalism if you had done so. I believe it is important to find an attorney with whom you feel comfortable, and likewise, my staff and I must be comfortable with the clients who engage us. I will defend my clients' goals tenaciously as well as my staff to ensure a proper, respectful working relationship - all with the intent of achieving positive results for my clients. We wish you the best in your pursuit of legal representation.
